Hello and welcome to the 4th annual Hope You Can Cling To challenge and card drive - we are so thrilled that you are here!! Thank you so much for all your support so far - I can't believe we're rolling into our final week of challenges!!

I know when I’ve gone through difficult times in my life, the thing that I found most refreshing was to have someone just really listen to me – not try to fix things for me, or say the right thing (because more often than not, those words aren’t there), but just to sit, allow me to get everything out into words, take it in, and through those words, process the situation along with me. The skill of listening is so valuable and rare.

So, for my challenge today... I want to see EARS on your cards!

You can choose an animal image, or an image of a person – the important thing is that an ear, big or small, is showing. If you’re feeling punny and want to have ears of corn instead… I’ll take that, too.

Thank you again for joining us! Please see the details below for sending in your cards.
